Excerpt from An Experiment in Approval Voting
A major experiment to compare approval voting with regular plurality voting took place during the annual election of The Institute of Management Sciences (tims) in 1985. Most of the voters filled out an experimental approval ballot along with an official plurality ballot, thereby permitting a detailed, side-by-side examination of the two methods. The election involved 1800 voters in three multicandidate elections, which makes it by far the largest field test of approval voting to date. This paper describes the experiment, analyzes its results, finds unexpected phenomena, and shows that, under several quite different circumstances.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an experimental examination and historical analysis of approval voting, an electoral system in which voters can vote for as many candidates as they approve of, rather than just one. While similar to ordinary plurality voting, approval voting permits a more nuanced expression of voter preferences, making it more likely to elect candidates supported by a broader segment of the population. The author presents the results of the first major field test of approval voting alongside retrospective analyses of past elections. These demonstrate that approval voting can identify the most widely supported candidates and can overturn plurality election outcomes, especially in three-way races between similar candidates. The book also examines theoretical considerations, including how voters distribute their approvals and the potential for strategic voting. This book provides valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of approval voting and its potential to improve democratic elections.
